Gearing up for Halloween Bingo!

It's nearing the end of August and I am ECSTATIC. September and October may not necessarily be cold in Southern California, but they still herald the beginning of cooler temperatures, sweaters, baking time and HORROR BOOKS. Yup, that's right. This is the 2nd year in a row that I'm participating in a Halloween Bingo game on Booklikes, and I've come to love this part of the year for its scary and mysterious reads. I'm so ready!

Here is my super cool bingo card, and all the books I'm pondering reading for the squares are listed below. You can expect to see reviews of most of these books throughout September and October, and I'll try my best to keep you up to date on how my bingo card is going also!

Did I mention that I'm excited?

Also feel free to shout out any books that you loved and would fit these squares. My reading list is totally malleable. And if you want to join us, click here.
